David Tennant and Toilets

David Tennant is definitely going to be the new Doctor in Doctor Who. Yay! Look, [livejournal.com profile] sunsetmog has clips of him in Blackpool up in her journal. I wish I'd watched that now.

The toilet has broken again. I went into the kitchen at about nine o'clock and noticed that the wallpaper had gone wavy. Cue frantic rushing upstairs to find that the cistern is leaking again. Luckily we had some sealant from the last time it happened and me and mum managed to seal it up again (after sticking rubber gloves together repeatedly and getting paper clips stuck down the nozzle whilst trying to unblock it). Trip to the shop for some more sealant tomorrow I think. I think we probably need a new loo actually. Meanwhile, we get to flush it with buckets of water for tonight. Gah.

I rode Oscar today but he was a bit dodgy and was quite lame when I got back. Poor thing. I'd probably be more sympathetic to him though if he hadn't been a total dick while I was trying to see if he was lame. There was at least one incident of him running around the paddock by himself with his bridle while I chased after. I hate leading him from the ground and he hates me.

Eddie Izzard was considered? I would love to see a transvestite Time Lord! That would be the best. Buah ha ha.

I still haven't watched Casanova. Must do that tomorrow.

Best of luck with the toilet and the bucket.

Eddie Izzard as Doctor Who would have rocked in so many.

We fixed the toilet 'properly' on Sunday morning. I love living in a house that has had barely no maintenance done on it since it was built in the sixties. Fixing crap that breaks is so much fun. *thinks back to the light switch setting on fire incident before Christmas* Gah.

Dude, we weren't peeing in the buckets! Just using buckets to flush the toilet with! And it's all fixed now. For the moment...

We have one bathroom (with the bath and sink) and a separate toilet so it's not too bad only having the one toilet. Except for when it breaks of course. Next time it breaks I'm totally taking you up on your offer though!

Did you really not know what London Expo was? Because I can explain. *more spam*

No, I have no idea! *feels ignorant*

Ok! Website!.

It's a bit like collectormania in that there are guests from many fandoms, except you pay to get in (only £6), it's not held in a shopping centre and it's not in Milton Keynes. This one has a large Enterprise guest list. It is run by Wolf - the people who do the SG cons. Other than that, I've not been, but I've heard the two are quite similar.

Whee. It'll be my second con, and I've volunteered to steward because all my friends are, and so I'd have no one to hang around with. Lol.

Ooooh, it looks pretty cool! And not being in Milton Keynes is a big plus point! I'm off to the Firefly con next weekend - I'm getting pretty excited now!

Eee. Con-mania! I really wished I'd watched more of Firefly, I managed to completely miss all but like 1 episode (which, ok, made me squee loudly and nearly faint with joy, but...)

It's very cool! The movie comes out in November so you should watch the series first and then go see the film! /pimp

Eee movie! I shall try and get hold of the series. =D
